Nightlake
Nightlake
It’s been a while since I posted. I’ve been feeling very inward and needed to go with it rather than push against it.
This piece was written in January of 1997 but I always felt it as reflecting Scorpio energy. When I looked at the transiting planets at the time of writing, it turns out that it coincided with Chiron’s first entry into Scorpio, which was only picking up my natal Chariklo by transit. I was also having a Pluto transit to my natal moon/Pluto opposition. And, at the time, I was spending some much-needed alone time in the Lake District. The words came from staring out over the waters of Windermere in the dark.
Darkness…
Heaving, moving darkness
Wet and watery darkness
Womblike and nurturing
Cold and unforgiving
Heavy, sinking, heavy
Darkness…
Depth and darkness
Engulfing darkness, swallowing its prey
Giving of its secrets with reluctance
Lapping quietness
Contained
Darkness…
Mirroring darkness
Shine your light upon it and receive it back refracted, fragmented, shattered
The secrets lie beneath
Inviting you to dive if you would truly know
Beware
